Ah, spring in New England. The days are getting warmer, the Red Sox are chasing another pennant and, of course, the Rhode Island School of Design is holding its annual RISD Spring Alumni + Student Art Sale, which takes place Saturday, May 4, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Benefit Street, across from the RISD Museum.

As usual, more than 150 artists and designers will converge on College Hill, selling everything from original prints and paintings to handmade jewelry, scarves and glassware. What's more, you don't need a six-figure income or a winning lottery ticket to do some serious art collecting. In fact, almost everything is affordably priced, with many items selling for $100 and under. And don't worry about the weather: the sale goes on, rain or shine.
